Liv Pamp Visits Section 36 Music!

Liv Pamp is the next visitor to Section 36 Music! She is a fantastic musician with a recent single you won't want to miss. I was so thrilled she was willing to visit with us and discuss her music, challenges, and a bit more. I'm sure you'll love what she had to say.

So, let's see what happens when Liv Pamp visits Section 36!

I adore your recent single “Hurt People Hurt People”. What can you tell me about it?

Writing this song was cathartic to me, as I explored the concept of how people who have been hurt in the past may perpetuate their trauma, what it’s like to be on the receiving end of that pain, and how it feels to release it. I wrote and produced the instrumental all in one night when I couldn’t sleep, and then proceeded to take several months to record vocals and mix it to my liking. The songwriting and production process was inspired by water imagery, such as being underwater, the darkness of the ocean, and tears. 

Do you have a favorite memory from the recording process?

Experimenting with vocal production techniques in my bedroom was quite fun! I had a clear vision for the vocal recording and production, so executing that was satisfying, although it took a while to perfect. Everything was done by me alone in my bedroom, so unfortunately there aren’t any entertaining stories!

What would you consider your biggest challenges with your music career?

I’d consider my biggest challenge to be taking things over the finish line. I have so many songs and so much to say and express, but I’m such a perfectionist that I labor and deliberate over everything I make for far too long. I think the remedy would be collaborating with other musicians and producers more, which I’d love to do. The only difficulty occurs when considering schedules and resources. I’m impressed by how people can record, produce, and release music so quickly!

Who or what would you consider your biggest musical inspirations?

My biggest musical inspiration doesn’t resemble the kind of music I make, but the production styles of Travis Scott and Mike Dean hooked me when I was 14 years old and became my ultimate sonic inspiration. The sound design featured in their productions is so cinematic and impactful. One of my ultimate goals is to be able to produce music with that same level of impact. 

If you could cover any Disney song, which one would you choose? Why?

I’d have to choose “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid! That was always my favorite Disney Princess movie as a little kid, and getting to play Ariel in The Little Mermaid when I was 10 years old was such a big deal to me. If I covered it, it definitely would come with a bit of an edgier twist, which would be fun to figure out. 

What are your immediate musical goals?

Currently, my biggest focus is just to release more music! I have only released two songs so far, and I’m so excited to put out more. My immediate goals include releasing several singles and a debut EP. It’s definitely my priority, and a necessity as an artist to create and share more art!

A debut EP sounds amazing!

As always, I want to thank Liv for visiting with us, and for sending along the pictures to accompany the interview. 

I'm sure you’ll all want to follow her and see what she has going on. I would follow her on Instagram and Spotify to make sure you don't miss a thing. 

Thanks again Liv, and good luck reaching your goals!
